In Prairie du Chien, men's skeleton medalist Matt Antoine will attend a community reception tonight, and serve as grand marshal for the St. Patrick's Day parade tomorrow. Antoine's sport requires him to slide down a course on his stomach at more than 100 miles an hour, with his arms kept to his side. He tells us that he knows a race has gone well, if he doesn't remember much of anything about it.
Antoine says he and his family had a very good time attending the Sochi Olympics, and he thinks the media overplayed the complaints of other athletes there.
Football and the Packers were hot topics at one event in La Crosse last night, with former Green Bay quarterback and coach Bart Starr in town to speak at the Gateway Boy Scout dinner.
Starr talked with reporters about the glory days under Coach Vince Lombardi, and the leadership skills of current Packer passer Aaron Rodgers. But when he was asked if he had the chance to give advice on the game to the NFL commissioner, Starr declined to suggest advice.
Starr says he would like to see his old Packer teammates Jerry Kramer and Bob Skoronski inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

When a branch library in La Crosse was saved from closing last year, Mayor Tim Kabat talked about naming a task force to examine ways of funding the library system.
That task force is now in place, and has its first meeting next Tuesday at City Hall. Library director Kelly Krieg-Sigman says residents of library neighborhoods will serve on the panel, along with city council members.
Customers of the South Branch library protested last fall, when the library board briefly suggested closing the branch on 16th Street under city orders to make large budget cuts.

For a nation that spans across 3.8 million square miles, the United States offers many vacation opportunities for every type of traveler. Whether you are looking to go on a road trip and you hope to cross as many states off your list, or you're looking to get away for a long weekend, the options are endless. With the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Pacific Ocean on the west, with many states in between, you can decide which state best fits what you're looking for.
If you're looking to learn more about our national history, many cities on the east coast, such as Washington D.C., Boston and Philadelphia are rich with the many National Monuments and Memorials, like the Washington Monument and Lincoln Memorial.
The U.S. National Park Service is a great place to start planning your vacation to many National Parks. The Grand Canyon, Yellowstone National Park and Yosemite National Park are great places to start.
If you're looking to spend some relaxing time on the lake during the summertime, look to the Midwest. And if you want a getaway during the long winter, there are various cities in the southern United States that never see snow.
With the "melting pot" of culture in the U.S., you're sure to find diverse array of food, art, music and language in each state. The cultural differences between neighboring states, or cities, are tremendous and are what makes the U.S. such a wonderful place to vacation. You can find your new favorite place just around the corner when you stay in the U.S.

Daily weather patterns over the North Atlantic are classified into relevant types: typical weather patterns that may characterize the range of climate impacts from aviation in this region, for both summer and winter. The motivation is to provide a set of weather types to facilitate an investigation of climate-optimal aircraft routing of trans-Atlantic flights (minimizing the climate impact on a flight-by-flight basis). Using the New York to London route as an example, the time-optimal route times are shown to vary by over 60 min, to take advantage of strong tailwinds or avoid headwinds, and for eastbound routes latitude correlates well with the latitude of the jet stream. The weather patterns are classified by their similarity to the North Atlantic Oscillation and East Atlantic teleconnection patterns. For winter, five types are defined; in summer, when there is less variation in jet latitude, only three types are defined. The types can be characterized by the jet strength and position, and therefore the location of the time-optimal routes varies by type. Simple proxies for the climate impact of carbon dioxide, ozone, water vapour and contrails are defined, which depend on parameters such as the route time, latitude and season, the time spent flying in the stratosphere, and the distance over which the air is supersaturated with respect to ice. These proxies are then shown to vary between weather types and between eastbound and westbound routes. Copyright © 2012 Royal Meteorological Society

This application is a divisional application of pending Serial No. 08/568,441, filed Dec. 7,1995, which is a file wrapper continuation of 08/218,197, filed Mar. 25,1994, now abandoned.
The following disclosure describes a method and system for determining the position of a mobile radio operating in the cellular radio service. A position service would have many desirable applications in the cellular radio service such as, location service for emergency callers (911), child locators, dispatch services, and fleet monitoring systems. Also, cellular system operators could use such methods to customize service parameters based on accurate knowledge of mobile telephone location such as lower cost services for limited mobility customers. Such a service would also be of use in locating stolen cellular phones and for investigating fraudulent use of cellular services.
Methods for radio position determination make use of techniques for measuring the propagation delay of a radio signal which is assumed to travel in a straight line from a transmitter to a receiver. A radio delay measurement in combination with an angle measurement provided by a directive antenna is the fundamental principle of radar. Radar location is frequently augmented by use of a transponder in the mobile vehicle rather than relying entirely on the signal reflected by the mobile vehicle.
Alternatively, multiple time delay measurements can be made using multiple transmitters and/or receivers to form a so-called tri-ateration system. The Loran system is an example of a system which transmits a series of coded pulses from base stations at know and fixed locations to mobile receivers. The mobile receiver compares the times of arrival of signals from the different transmitters to determine hyperbolic lines of position. Similarly, the global positioning system (GPS) provides transmission from a set of 24 earth orbiting satellites. Mobile receivers can determine their position by using knowledge of the satellites'locations and the time delay differences between signals received from four or more satellites.
From the above examples, it can be seen that radio position location systems can be divided into two types, those which allow a mobile user to determine its own position and those which allow another party to determine the position of a mobile transponder such as radar systems. The system herein disclosed is of the second type where the fixed portion of a cellular telephone system determines the location of a mobile cellular telephone. Generally, such systems require that the mobile user transmit a radio signal (except in the case of passive radar.)
Methods of radio location such as disclosed in "Dual Satellite Navigation Method and System." U.S. Pat. No. 5,126,748, issued June, 1992 require the mobile terminal to both transmit and to receive which allows round trip timing measurements defining circular lines of position to be performed using fewer transmitter sites than required for the Loran and GPS systems in which the mobile terminals contain only receiving capability. In other systems, the mobile terminal may contain only a transmitter and the remaining system elements perform direction finding or multiple receptions of the signal from different locations to determine the position. An example of this is the SARSAT system for locating downed aircraft. In this system, the downed aircraft transmits a signal on the international distress frequency 121.5 MHz (and 273 MHz). An earth orbiting satellite relays the signal to an earth terminal. As the satellite passes overhead, the change in Doppler shift can be detected and a line of position can be determined. Multiple overhead passes by the same or similar satellites can determine a set of lines of position, the intersection of which determines the location of the downed aircraft.
In the disclosed system, we wish to make use of the existing capabilities of mobile cellular telephones operating in the AMPS service (or similar service) to provide a new service of position location without modifying the millions of already existing AMPS mobile cellular telephones. In the AMPS service, the mobiles transmit at UHF frequencies between 824-849 MHz and base stations transmit at frequencies between 869-894 MHz. The frequency bands are divided into two sets of 833 channel pairs evenly spaced 30 kHz apart. One set of 833 channel pairs is licensed to each of two service providers in a given area.
The AMPS system uses analog FM modulation to transmit telephone speech. The mobile and base stations transmit simultaneously using full duplex techniques so that the user perceives a continuous link in both directions at all times.
Normally, each base station in a large cellular system serving a metropolitan area will be assigned a set of 57 channel pairs for providing telephone service. Additionally, one channel is assigned for signaling and paging. Calls are initiated at the mobile station by transmitting a digital message to the nearest base station on its control channel. The base station will respond on its corresponding control channel with a channel assignment to be used by the mobile while the call is in progress within the confines of this cell. If the call continues while the mobile moves into another cell, a control message from the base station will command the mobile to change channels to one assigned to the cell the mobile is moving into in a process called handoff.
The AMPS system includes a technique called supervisory audio tone (SAT) to insure that calls are being handled by the proper base stations. In this system, each base station adds a high frequency audio tone to the telephone audio of each call in progress. This tone will either be transmitted at 5980, 6000, or 6030 Hz. The mobile station will detect and filter this tone and transmit it back to the base station by adding it to the telephone audio. The base station then filters and detects the SAT tone and insures that the received tone is the same frequency as the tone it transmits. A pattern of SAT tone assignment to different neighboring base stations allows instances of incorrect connections to be detected and corrected.
When the AMPS system was originally being defined, it was contemplated that the mobile stations'positions could be located by measuring the phase difference between the forward link SAT tone and the SAT tone received by the base station from the mobile. This would permit a round trip time delay measurement which would locate the mobile on a circle around the base station. It was seen that this technique would introduce the need for a specification controlling the phase shift of the returned SAT tone in order to provide consistent measurements. Because of this added complexity, this approach was dropped from the specification.
When the system desires to locate a particular mobile station, the mobile station is commanded to go to a predetermined and dedicated channel and transmit an audio tone over it's FM transmitter for a short interval, say one to ten milliseconds. The audio tone's frequency should be above the speech spectrum, e.g. greater than 4 kHz. At the end of the tone burst, the mobile returns to whatever it was doing previously, e.g., continuing its call, idle mode, etc. The channel frequency used for the position determination service would normally be dedicated to this purpose throughout the system and the controller would insure that only one mobile at a time transmits a positioning signal.
At the same time that the control message is sent to the mobile, the base stations are sent a control message indicating that a mobile is about to transmit a tone burst. The base stations are equipped with GPS receivers allowing accurate time and frequency references to be available at each base station. The base stations produce a tone reference signal at the same frequency and with synchronized phase based on the GPS receiver. The base station measures the phase difference between the tone reference signal and the signal tone (if any) received from the mobile station. The measurement interval used is the same as the transmission time, normally about one to ten milliseconds. The phase difference measurements are reported to the control station along with a measurement of S/N of the measurement.
The mobile station's position is calculated by computing phase differences between the tone burst phases reported by adjacent base stations. For example, if two adjacent base stations report the same phase difference relative to the reference phase, then the mobile is known to be somewhere on the perpendicular bisector between the two stations. If the phases are unequal, then the mobile is known to be on a hyperbola which is the locus of points having the same measured phase difference. If a third base station reports a phase measurement, then two more hyperbolas are determined. The intersection of the hyperbolas determines a solution for the mobile's location.
The precision required for the phase measurement is on the order of one degree. For example, 100 meter precision (300 ft) requires about 300 nsec precision. If the tone burst were 6 KHz in frequency, then about one-half degree resolution in the phase measurement would yield the desired precision. Note that this order of precision should be easily obtainable if the S/N is high enough.
It is possible to use the SAT signal (supervisory audio tones) for the above purposes. In the AMPS system, each base station transmits on the forward channel a tone of either 5980, 6000, or 6030 Hz. The mobile station receives this tone and retransmits it on the reverse channel.
One could perform position determination of any standard AMPS phone by the following method:
1) a call is established with the mobile station in the normal fashion; a command is sent to the mobile station ordering it to change channels to the above predetermined positioning channel;
2) the base station the mobile was connected to transmits on the channel with a predetermined SAT tone assignment, usually 6000 Hz;
3) the mobile station receives and retransmits the SAT tone in the normal way; the surrounding base stations measure the phase difference between the returned SAT tone and the reference tone derived from a received GPS timing signal;
4) the measurements are collected in a central point and the position computed;
5) the mobile station is commanded (by transmitting a normal control message) to return to its previous frequency to continue any call it may have in progress.
It is possible, using the SAT tone method, to track the position of the mobile as the call continues. The connected base station and the neighbor base stations can continue to measure the SAT tone phase difference relative to the synchronized reference tones on the normal cellular communication signals. However, the SAT tone frequency (the so-called SAT color code) now varies from one base station to another and the proper measurement must be made for each case. Also, the possibility of co-channel interference from mobiles in nearby co-channel cells can degrade the measurement accuracy. If, at any time during a call, a more accurate position is needed, the mobile can be commanded to the dedicated measurement frequency.
The signal to noise ratio (SNR) required to achieve the desired accuracy is determined by the received SNR and the averaging time. A half-degree resolution corresponds to seven bits of resolution. Each bit of resolution requires an additional 6 dB of SNR so that the total SNR is required to be 42 dB. If the received signal has a 20 dB SNR in a 4 kHz bandwidth, then the bandwidth must be narrowed 22 dB. This would appear to require a four millisecond measuring time.
Note that mobile terminal motion should not significantly affect the measurement. Consider that in four milliseconds, a mobile moving at 100 ft/sec will travel only 25 feet, significantly less than the measurement resolution.
Note also that the SAT tone frequency of 6 KHz is adequate to support unambiguous positioning in typically sized cellular telephone systems. The ambiguity distance for this tone frequency is about 50 kilometers corresponding to one complete cycle of the waveform or 166.7 microseconds.
FIG. 1 shows an overall block diagram of the system.
FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the processing operations performed by the base stations to support the position determination process.
FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of the phase detector circuit.
FIG. 4 shows hyperbolic lines of position used to determine the location of the mobile unit.
An overall block diagram of the system is shown in FIG. 1. The cellular system is comprised of base stations 100, 101, 102 and possibly many additional base stations and system controller & switch 20, also known in the cellular industry as the Mobile Telephone Switching Office (MTSO). The system subscriber mobile telephones are depicted as both car telephones 10 and 11 and pocket sized portable cellular telephones 12 and 13.
The disclosed position determination system also utilizes earth orbiting satellites of the Global Positioning System (GPS) 200, 201, 202 and 203 as a means of precise synchronization. The GPS system is comprised of a constellation of 24 (plus spares) satellites arranged in orbits so that four or more satellites are visible any place on earth at all times. These satellites transmit signals that allow precise differences in time of arrival of signals from the satellites in view to be measured by GPS system receivers. The satellites are synchronized to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) which allows precise time of day and frequencies to be obtained at GPS receivers. This capability of the GPS is utilized as a means for generated precisely synchronized reference tones at each base station.
The cellular system can provide up to about fifty-seven simultaneous telephone calls to mobile stations within each base station's coverage area. Normally, each base station is assigned 57 radio frequency channel pairs which are not used in any surrounding base station. Base stations located farther away may reuse the channels in a technique known as frequency reuse. Frequency reuse allows a city to be covered by many hundreds of base stations without running out of channels even though each system has a total of only 416 channels at its disposal.
In the disclosed system it is contemplated that one or more of the 416 channels would be dedicated to the position determination system and not used for telephone calls. This will allow a "clear channel" without co-channel interference from other mobile phones, resulting in higher signal-to-noise ratios, shorter measurement times and greater accuracy of position determination. The single channel for position determination would be shared by all the mobile stations in the system under control of the system controller. The system controller would determine which mobile stations require positions to be determined and transmit the commands to the mobile to be measured and the surrounding base stations. If a large number of position measurements must be made, more than one RF channel can be dedicated to this purpose.
It is also possible to use the disclosed techniques to monitor the position of each mobile telephone call in the system on a continuous basis rather than a sampled basis by making the disclosed measurements on each call in progress.
FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the processing operations performed by the base stations to support the position determination process. The GPS antenna 300 and GPS receiver 301 provide a means for distribution of a common frequency and time reference to the base stations in the network. The Global Positioning System (GPS) consists of a network of 24 (plus spares) satellites in circular inclined orbits around the earth so that every point on the earth will have four or more of the satellites continuously in view. The satellites transmit a radio signal modulated by a spread spectrum waveform that allows very precise time measurements to be performed on the received signals. The GPS receivers acquire and synchronize to four or more of the downlink signals from the satellites. Then, the differences in time of arrival between the signals from the different satellites are measured. Together with knowledge of the orbital parameters, which are continuously transmitted on a data link from the satellites, the GPS receiver can solve for its position in three dimensional space and, as a by product, obtains very accurate time of day which is synchronized to universal coordinated time (UTC). If each base station in the system is so equipped, then they can all be synchronized very accurately. Note that for the purpose of the position determination functions, synchronization to UTC is not required, merely synchronization of all base stations to a common reference is required.
The GPS receiver will provide a one pulse-per-second (1 pps) signal together with a 1 MHz signal. The 1 MHz signal is used to synchronize a stable oscillator. The stabilized 1 MHz and the 1 pss signals are used to generate a 6000 Hz signal which is synchronized (that is, in phase) at each of the base stations.
The synthesizer 302 can be quite simple. For example, the 1 MHz signal is multiplied by 12 to produce a 12 MHz signal. The 12 MHz signal is then divided by 2000 in a digital divider. The result is a 6000 Hz square wave signal. The divide circuit is reset by the 1 pps signal at the beginning of each second. This insures that the divide by 2000 circuits in all of the base stations are in the same state at the same time.
The 6 kHz reference signal is summed with the transmit audio from the MTSO in summer 318. The 6 kHz signal is used as the SAT tone for this channel. The resulting signal is converted into a FM transmit signal by cellular transmitter 317. A predetermined 30 kHz channel in the 869-894 MHz band is dedicated for the purpose of position determination. In principle, any of the channels that can be used for a normal telephone call can be used for this purpose. The resulting FM signal is then radiated by the cellular transmit antenna 316. Cellular transmitter 317 with summer 318 is an ordinary cellular base station transmitter with only the additional function of accepting the reference 6 kHz signal from synthesizer 302 for the SAT tone.
Only one of the base stations in the system will transmit to the mobile station at one time. The surrounding base stations will, however, normally be capable of receiving the signal and making measurements on it.
The mobile station will receive the signal, demodulate the SAT tone and sum it with its own baseband transmit audio and transmit it back to the base station. These functions of the mobile station are the ordinary functions of an AMPS mobile station during the course of an ordinary cellular telephone call. Thus, no special mobile station equipment is required to provide the desired services of position determination. Added equipment for position location is installed only in base stations and only in those base stations where the position location service is desired to be provided.
The base station will receive the signal from the mobile station with cellular receive antenna 310. This signal is then amplified and demodulated by cellular receiver 311. The receiver will accept control signals from the base station controller 320 and provide a receive signal strength indicator (RSSI) signal to the controller 320. The controller 320 will relay the RSSI signal along with other signals to the MTSO for use in the calculation of the mobile station's position. The receive audio is delivered to the MTSO in the normal manner of an AMPS base station. The only additional function required of receiver 311 beyond that of an ordinary AMPS base station receiver is that the SAT tone signal be output to bandpass filter 312.
The SAT tone signal added to the mobile station's transmitted signal is demodulated along with the speech signals in receiver 311's FM demodulator circuit, typically a limiter-discriminator but many other circuits for FM demodulation are known in the art. The SAT tone signal at 6 kHz is separated from the speech signal by bandpass filter 312. This filter might normally have a bandwidth of several hundred Hz. Generally, the narrower the bandwidth of this filter, the higher will be the signal-to-noise ratio of the SAT tone but a longer time will be required for the measurement of the phase of the output signal as it will exhibit a time response proportional to the bandwidth of the filter.
The output of the filter 312 is input to phase detector 314 along with the reference 6 kHz signal from frequency synthesizer 302. The phase detector measures the difference in phase between the reference 6 kHz signal and the received SAT tone. The phase difference will be proportional to the distance between the mobile station being received and the base station. There are certain phase shifts in the SAT tone which are fixed and may be determined in advance such as the effective phase shift between the input to cellular transmitter 317 and the transmit antenna 316. Phase shift is caused both by the response of filters and equalization circuits in the transmitter as well as physical delays of transporting the signal from one place to another. Likewise, there will be additional phase shifts in the cellular receiver 311 and bandpass filter 312. These phase shifts can be measured and calibrated out of the system as they are fixed.
An additional source of phase shift is caused by the circuits in the mobile cellular telephone. The precise value of this phase shift will vary from telephone to telephone, however the general range of phase shift can be determined and calibrated out. Fortunately, the positioning accuracy of the disclosed system does not depend on the phase shift caused by the mobile's circuits.
The final source of phase shift, and the most important one, is due to the physical delay of transporting the signal through the air between the mobile and the base station. Only the phase shift of transmitting from the mobile to the base stations is important to positioning because the relative phase shift is measured in each of three or more base stations. Only one of the base stations is transmitting to the mobile so this phase shift is not important, except to establish the operating range of phase detector 314.
A block diagram of a phase detector circuit is shown in FIG. 3. The input signal is fed to multiplier circuits 330 and 331. The reference 6 kHz signal is fed to the second input of multiplier 330 and to the input of phase shifter circuit 332. The phase shifter circuit shifts the phase of the 6 kHz reference by 90 degrees (or pi/2). The output of phase shifter 332 is fed to the second input of multiplier 331. Circuits for shifting the phase of a sinusoid by 90 degrees are well known in the art. It may be preferable in some cases for the frequency synthesizer 302 to produce two outputs of the reference 6 kHz signal that are 90 degrees shifted in phase. The multiplier circuit forms the arithmetic product of the two input signals. That is, if the two inputs are signals x and y then the output is x*y. The outputs of the two multiplier circuits 330 and 331 are inputs a and b to combiner circuit 333. The combiner's output signal is equal to the arc tangent function of the ratio of inputs a and b. This phase detector circuit will function over a phase difference range of 180 degrees. Note that ratio a/b becomes undefined when input b is equal to zero which will happen at two points 180 degrees apart in phase difference. Normally, the fixed values of phase shifts will be adjusted so that the phase detector circuits active range will lie between these two undefined values. The operating range of 180 degrees will correspond to a range variation of 25 km or 15.5 statue miles. This will be adequate for most applications of the technique to AMPS cellular telephone systems.
The output of the phase detector circuit 314 is averaged by low pass filter 315 to produce the desired signal to noise ratio. The filtered output is then digitized and passed on to the controller 320. The controller forwards the phase difference measurement along with the RSSI measurement to the MTSO where the position of the mobile station is calculated.
A desirable enhancement for the filters would be to reset the filters 312 and 315 at the beginning of the measurement process so as to prevent noise signals received prior to the measurement from affecting the result.
There are many different methods of implementing phase detector circuits which will be apparent to those skilled in the arts. An attractive implementation would be to digitize the SAT tone signal output from cellular receiver 311 and then to perform all of the functions of bandpass filter 312, phase detector 314 and low pass filter 315 in digital circuits. This would allow the synthesizer 302 output to be used directly without first converting this signal to analog form. These processing steps could also be performed by a suitable digital signal processor (DSP) circuit.
The position determination process is begun at the MTSO. If we assume that a given mobile station is already in communication with the system and that it is determined that a position determination should be made for this mobile, the MTSO will control the following steps:
1) a command is sent to the mobile station ordering it to change channels to the above predetermined positioning channel;
2) the base station the mobile was connected to transmits on the channel with a predetermined SAT tone assignment of 6000 Hz;
3) the mobile station receives and retransmits the SAT tone in the normal way; all the surrounding base stations measure the phase difference between the returned SAT tone and the reference tone derived from a received GPS timing signal;
4) the measurements are collected at the MTSO and the position computed;
5) the mobile station is commanded (by transmitting a normal control message) to return to its previous frequency to continue any call in may have in progress.
The MTSO will signal all the base stations in the system that the measurement is taking place and all base stations will attempt to make a phase measurement at the indicated time. Most of the base stations will be out of range of the mobile station and will not make a meaningful measurement. The RSSI signal from such receivers will indicate a weak signal and the MTSO will ignore phase measurements from these base stations. Normally, only the closest neighbor base stations to the base station communicating with the mobile will make a meaningful measurement. The MTSO processing may in addition to ignoring phase measurements from receivers with low RSSI may also choose to ignore measurements from base stations not close to the communicating base station.
The position is determined as follows: phase measurements from pairs of base stations will define hyperbolic lines of position between the stations. For example, suppose the phase difference measurements for base stations 100 and 101 of FIG. 4 differ by 10 degrees, e.g., base station 100 measures −49 degrees relative to the reference and base station 101 measures −59 degrees. Thus, the portable unit 12 is about 1 mile closer to base station 100 than base station 101. Furthermore, it is on a hyperbola which is the locus of points one mile closer to 100 than to 101. Suppose we also find that base station 102 measures the portable unit as −39 degrees relative to the reference. Thus, the mobile is 10 degrees, or about 1 mile closer to 102 than to 100. Also, the mobile is about 2 miles closer to 102 than to 101. We have now defined three hyperbolas. Where they intersect on a map is the location of the mobile. Algorithms for computing position based on time differences given the Be knowledge of the base station locations is well known in the art. In fact the computation process is identical to that used in the Loran positioning system except that the measurements and computations are performed at the base stations and MTSO instead of at the mobile station.
On completion of the measurement process, the MTSO will command the mobile and base station to return to a regular (non-positioning) channel of the system to free up the positioning channel for another mobile to use.
Clearly, if all base station receivers are equipped to make the disclosed relative phase measurements then the position of all mobiles with calls in progress can be determined at the same time. The only significant additional problem with this is that there will likely be co-channel interference present due to the frequency reuse process normally employed by cellular systems.

Austin Wayne Self will battle for Rookie of the Year honors and a whole lot more as he enters his first season as fulltime driver of the No. 22 Toyota Tundra for AM Racing in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series in 2016.
When it comes to making a strong first impression, Self has a track record of success. He was named Rookie of the Year in the Texas Super Racing Late Model Series in 2010 and the ARCA Racing Series in 2014.
Self finished second in the ARCA Series championship points standings in 2015, collecting twelve top-10 finishes and winning at Winchester along the way. In forty-five career ARCA Series starts, Self racked up thirty top-10 finishes, including thirteen top-5s.
The competitive fire that began to burn in Self as a four year-old racing Go Karts and fueled his rapid rise thru the ranks of stock-car racing (including stints in the Whelen All-American Series and K & N Series) will be on display this season as he forays into NASCAR'S fierce upper echelon.
Self has earned early partnership support for his NCWTS effort from such Lone Star State notables as the Texas Department of Agriculture's GO TEXAN campaign, Louie Mueller Barbecue. Texas Tea and Don't mess with Texas.
Away from the race track, Self enjoys playing video games and outdoor activities including longboarding and hiking. He is an avid fan of the TCU Horned Frogs and Cincinnati Bengals.

News about reggae music, artists, culture and more...
Bob Marley's oldest child – the three-time Grammy Award winner Cedella Marley – has adapted the lyrics from her father's beloved song One Love for a children's book. Its chorus "one love, one heart, let's get together and feel alright" has been the guiding star in her work.
The result is a picture book promoting family and neighborhood unity through a girl that enlists her community to help transform her neighborhood for the better.
The book bears the same title as the song and comes with colorful illustrations with some collage elements by Vanessa Brantley-Newton.
'One Love' is published through Chronicle Books in October.

A Mulberry Inspired Photoshoot
Much has been made of 'it' handbags in fashion circles lately, with the past few years characterised by the era of the Fendi Baguette, the Balenciaga Lariat and the Chanel 2.55. I must admit to largely by passing this trend, with one exception – Mulberry. Whether it's the smell of the leather, the British craftsmanship and heritage or the classic designs, their bags send me weak at the knees. I'd best not divulge exactly how many I own in case Mr Tempting Cake reads this…
So when the ever-stylish Melanie from Cranberry Blue Weddings & Events mentioned she had a Mulberry-themed shoot in mind, it was clearly right up my street.
We created a Tempting Table for the shoot, incorporating spring fresh duck egg blues, and natural elements such as birds, feathers and flowers
Our duck egg blue cake sat perfectly in front of the blue wall behind. The flowers adorning the cake are all hand-made from sugar and include blossoms, buds, ivy and roses in wreaths around the cake to echo the floral headwear.
The cake was complemented by some love bird cookies, which were positioned facing each other to bring them to life.
We displayed the feather cookies displayed in a striking pin wheel fashion for maximum impact.
Mini eggs with their crackle glazed surface and soft colour palette were a cute addition to the table.
Finally, our buttercream rose piped cupcakes in tissue paper green leaves completed the line up.
Melanie's organisation was evident on the day with everything running like clockwork. Her high fashion experience resulted in stunning looks like this coming together under her watchful eye at the beautiful Dartmouth House
Melanie planned the shoot in conjunction with Floral Designer Elizabeth Marsh, who created striking floral accessories. The flower girls at two of the biggest weddings of 2010 (Kate Moss and Kate Middleton) sported flower fairy-esque head bands, and Elizabeth's creation complements the bouquet perfectly.
Cutture provided the beautiful stationery, with delicate trees and a luxurious purple script:

Product Description
From Amazon
If you thought The Silence of the Lambs was the last word on how the FBI tracks serial killers, think again. Grippando -- the Miami lawyer who scored with The Pardon -- manages to reveal even more inside information as agent Victoria Santos goes after a particularly nasty murderer/mutilator. Helping in the chase is reporter Mike Posten, getting repeated tips from somebody who reveals the kind of details only the actual killer could know. There's also an exciting, ultra-violent conclusion on a cruise ship just begging for Bruce Willis and Demi Moore.
From Publishers Weekly
The title character of attorney Grippando's second thriller (after The Pardon) is the anonymous man who contacts Miami Tribune reporter Mike Posten and claims that he can predict the next victim of a serial killer who has eluded the FBI's Child Abduction and Serial Killer Unit. The informant wants to be paid in cash for what he says he knows. After a brief debate, Posten and his paper pony up for a series of exclusives. Posten also talks to the FBI, in the form of agent Victoria Santos, who is alone in believing that the informant and the killer are different people. It's an unusually cerebral and low-key beginning to a serial-killer thriller, emphasizing procedure, forensics and professional ethics rather than shock or even suspense; the killings that occur during this set-up take place off page. Soon enough, however, the informer/killer question is resolved and Grippando moves his story into more familiar territory, telling an absorbing tale with cool competence. The murders are given a plausible motive and the climax, which takes place on a hijacked cruise ship, surges with tension; even Posten's marital problems are tied neatly to the plot line. Former FBI agent and veteran serial-killer-stalker John Douglas (Mind Hunter) has blurbed this novel as authentic and "thoroughly convincing"; true?and it's a nail-biter to boot. $60,000 ad/promo; simultaneous HarperAudio release.

Customer Reviews
Top Customer Reviews
In The Informant Mr. Grippando has woven together an interesting story about three different people. Victoria Santos is a FBI agent tracking a serial killer, Mike Poston is a top notch reporter at a Miami newspaper, and the informant is a mysterious person with an uncanny ability to predict where the killer will strike next. I love the characters that Grippando creates. There always seems to one that has a past that works its way into the plot by stories end. This book is no exception. Although I did figure out the "twist" early in the story, it still was well crafted.
The story is fast paced, intriguing, and at times gruesome. The final 100 pages were non-stop action. It's a fun read that will keep you up all hours of the night. I recommend The Informant!
Grippando has given an intricate portrait of the tracking of a serial killer, and increased the believability by having the two main characters, FBI Agent Victoria Santos and reporter Mike Posten, work together in a credible way, and without the seemingly obligatory affair or companion story about them falling in love.
The identity of The Informant is a little too easy to guess, and a little farfetched, but other than that, the book succeeds on many levels. It's action-packed, with interesting characterization, and compels the reader to finish the tale as fast as possible. Grippando keeps the plot twists somewhat bizarre, so its difficult to know which way the story is going next....all of which adds up to a very satisfying read!
I got this book from my library in the evening. I had a morning shift the next day.
well i started reading this book at around 11:00 p.m. and believe you me that this book is so good, so gripping that i forgot everything around me.
I finished reading the book early morning and directly got ready for my morning shift.
I did not sleep a wink.....
So please book lovers go ahead and read all books by Grippando because this guy never lets you down.
Spine chilling thrillers are his forte and none does it better than him.......

Astronaut Among Presidential Medal Of Freedom Winners
Astronaut Sally Ride has served as a role model for young women as the first American woman in space. It's for that reason she's one of the 16 people named as recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Ride will receive the award posthumously — she died last year at the age of 61.
Astronaut Sally Ride has served as a role model for many young women as the first American woman in space. That's one of the reasons why she's one of the 16 recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Ride is being honored posthumously - she died last year at the age of 61. The White House in a statement said: Sally Ride stood up for racial and gender equality in the classroom and taught students that there are no limits to what they can accomplish.
GREENE: The 15 other honorees include the late Democratic senator from Hawaii Daniel Inouye. Bayard Rustin also receives the award posthumously. The open gay African-American helped organized the 1963 march on Washington for jobs and freedom.

The high-priced Buffalo Sabres' tumble from the top of the Eastern Conference to its bottom is just as perplexing to them as it is to most outside observers. ''We're living through it,'' right wing Drew Stafford said Monday before the team departed for Tuesday's game at the New Jersey Devils. ''We're the ones on the ice, and we're the ones responsible for the games. It's been like this for a while, and you have to answer for it and answer why.'' Amid growing calls for a shake-up, the Sabres returned home briefly for practice after losing the first five games of a seven-game road trip, their longest of the season. Buffalo is just 1-7-1 in its past nine overall, and the NHL's highest-paid team is in danger of falling into sole possession of 15th place in the East just two months after being a point out of the No. 1 spot. Since blanking the Carolina Hurricanes 1-0 on Nov. 18 to move to 12-7-0 on the season, the Sabres have gone 7-17-5. They entered Monday tied with Carolina for last...

The preschoolers and kindergartners, as well as their leaders, were taking advantage of the beautiful summer weather earlier this week by spending part of their VBS time outdoors. The church's VBS ended on Friday, but a special "coaster festival" is scheduled for 5 p.m. on Sunday at the church, 450 E. Springfield Road.Buy this photo
